Mini-Project 02
Data Visualization Project 02
Initial Plans
I was initially planning to explore the Florida Lakes spatial dataset more. I wanted to highlight the counties with the most area of lakes. I found it hard to try to merge the geoms and find the intersections to get this to work. I also wanted to try to show the correlation of house prices to certain futures of houses, I figured scatter plots would be the best way to visualize this.
Narrative
We load in all of the different packages and data for our analysis in this first chunk. Sadley nothing too fun here…

Below is the houses dataset again mapped with a linear model
correlation. Much to our expectation we can visualize that house size
has large correlation to the price.

This is then backed up by the below correlation coefficients.

While this is just the surface these visualizations could be improved upon to add in more factors. I found the spatial data difficult to work with and would like to dive into this more. I find it to be a very interesting topic as well.
